He had been standing quietly beside Lu Ke'er, observing her expression quietly. He noticed that her face was gradually turning pale, and her breathing was becoming disordered. But even so, her hands were very steady.

Finally, she looked at Qi Ming and said in a hoarse voice: "Bring the knife."

Qi Ming hurriedly handed her a sharp knife.

"Help me sterilize the razor blade over the candle flame," she ordered, her hands moving without stopping.

Qi Ming did as he was told.

"Now, use a blade to cut one of his fingers." Lu Ke'er said.

"Which one?" Qi Ming's hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

"casual."

"Okay, okay, whatever, whatever." Qi Ming nervously stretched the knife towards Gao Yutang's finger.

"How big a cut should it be?" he asked again.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it bleeds." Lu Ke'er replied.

"Okay, okay, whatever, whatever." Qi Ming held the knife, so nervous that he couldn't even breathe smoothly.

"Hurry up, what are you doing?" Seeing Qi Ming still in a daze, Lu Ke'er urged him anxiously.

The first time she used spiritual energy to detoxify, her physical and mental strength could not keep up, and she felt like she could collapse at any time.

Qi Ming gritted his teeth, held the knife in his hand and slashed hard on one of Gao Yutang's fingers.

A long cut came into everyone's sight.

"He's a ruthless person." Lu Ke'er sighed.

Seeing the black blood gushing out from the hideous wound, Qi Ming's face turned pale.

"Did I...did I scratch too deep?"

"If you go a little deeper, you'll cut off his fingers." Lu Ke'er said.

"What...what should I do?" Qi Ming was about to cry.

He just wanted to save his cousin, but didn't want to hurt him.

"Get a basin to catch the poisonous blood." Lu Ke'er reminded.

Qi Ming hurriedly went to get a basin to collect the blood.

The benefit of making a deep cut became apparent: the poisonous blood was discharged quickly, and it was completely discharged in less than half an incense stick of time.

Although Gao Yutang's breathing was weak, it gradually became steady.

But his face was pale.

"Okay, get the gold medicine and stop the bleeding." Lu Ke'er put away the silver needle, her legs went limp, and she staggered to the ground.

I'm so tired, it seems like all the strength in my body has been drained.

She felt like she had run a marathon.

"Miss Lu, are you... okay?" Rong Zhixing's deep eyes were full of worry.

Her face was paler than Gao Yutang's.

"Let me take it easy." She directed Qi Ming to stop the bleeding and bandage Gao Yutang while she rested.

"Has Yu Tang's poison been cured?" Yu Qianjing still couldn't believe it.

Lu Ke'er didn't want to answer.

Rong Zhixing personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lu Keer.

Lu Ke'er took it and drank it in big gulps.

Yu Qianjing stared at Rong Zhixing, becoming even more incredulous.

Is this still the Rong Zhixing he knew? One of the four young masters of Beijing, actually pouring tea for a little village girl.

Another stick of incense passed before Gao Yutang slowly woke up in bed. And Lu Ke'er finally recovered.

"You... why are you here?" As soon as Gao Yutang opened his eyes, he saw Rong Zhixing and Yu Qianjing, and almost suspected that he was dreaming.

"Without us, you would still be lying on the ground." Yu Qianjing sneered.

"Not just lying there." Qi Ming was still frightened at this moment, "Cousin, if it weren't for Miss Lu, you would be a dead man now."

Gao Yutang only felt dizzy and tired, and his whole body ached as if he had been run over by a carriage.

"I... I'm poisoned." His eyes slowly turned and he finally remembered. Suddenly his eyes lit up and his bearded face showed a hint of excitement. "Who... helped me detoxify?"

"It's Miss Lu." Rong Zhixing pointed at Lu Ke'er who was standing at the head of the bed and said, "You should thank her."

Gao Yutang then noticed that there was a thin little girl standing in front of the bed. This little girl was obviously not yet of marriageable age, but her expression was stern and her attitude was calm and generous. Her pair of phoenix eyes were cold and charming. She glanced at him indifferently, and his heart suddenly choked and he almost forgot to breathe.

Lu Ke'er reached out to Gao Yutang's wrist, took his pulse and carefully observed his complexion. After a moment, she said, "There is no toxin in your body anymore. However, due to the blood loss, you are now deficient in both Qi and blood. Take some time to replenish your energy."

"Okay...Okay." Gao Yutang answered subconsciously.

"Then you have a good rest now."

"But, Miss Lu, Miss Lu..." Gao Yutang was very curious about how Lu Ke'er detoxified him, but he was very weak now and he gasped for breath after speaking a few words.

"We can talk about it later." Lu Ke'er stopped him, "Just have a good rest now."

Lu Ke'er asked Qi Ming for a pen and paper, wrote down the prescription, and said, "This is a prescription for replenishing blood and nourishing qi."

"Okay, I'll go get the medicine and boil it right away." Qi Ming took the prescription with tears of gratitude and ran out of the house quickly.

Rong Zhixing bowed to Lu Ke'er and expressed gratitude: "Yutang is my brother. I would like to thank Miss Lu for saving his life on his behalf."

Lu Ke'er's skill today has shocked everyone present. Although everyone does not understand medicine, they all know that if a person is poisoned, there is almost no chance of survival. Moreover, according to their understanding, there is no antidote for the two poisons of Gelsemium elegans and Hundred Days of Soul Chasing.

This Miss Lu's medical skills are almost miraculous.

"Excuse me, Miss Lu, what kind of medicine are you here to sell in Xuanhu Pavilion today?" Now that the crisis was resolved, Rong Zhixing was in the mood to ask her.

"Ginseng." Since Lu Ke'er already knew that Mr. Rong was the owner of Xuanhu Pavilion, she told him directly.

Rong Zhixing took the ginseng from Lu Keer, but before he could say anything, Gao Yutang, who was lying on the bed, weakly but excitedly shouted, "Hundred-year-old ginseng!"

Lu Ke'er glanced at him approvingly: "Good eyesight."

"I... I have a lot of experience with medicinal herbs." Gao Yutang was inexplicably delighted to be praised by his savior.

"Then tell me, if I sell it to you, how much silver will you give me?"

"Five..." Gao Yutang blinked and asked hesitantly, "Five hundred taels?"

Lu Ke'er was stunned, and glanced at Xiang Rongzhixing with sympathy on her face: "I think you should find another Pavilion Master. It was his ability that he didn't let Xuanhu Pavilion go bankrupt."

Rong Zhixing smiled slightly: "The current market price of a hundred-year-old ginseng is fifty to one hundred taels. Your ginseng is not very big, fifty taels is about right. However, you saved Yutang's life, so he also counted the favor of saving his life into it."

"It turns out that his life is only worth four hundred and fifty taels." Lu Ke'er suddenly realized.

Rong Zhixing: ...

Gao Yutang's pale face showed an embarrassment: "Miss Lu, don't listen to Rong Mu's nonsense. How can a few hundred taels of silver express my gratitude to you? My life belongs to you. No matter what you ask me to do, I will just say one word."

After hearing these words, not only Rong Zhixing, but even Yu Qianjing who knew him was shocked.

Gao Yutang is young, and comes from a medical family. He has been obsessed with medicine and pharmacology for many years. He is arrogant because of his talent. Except for a few friends who grew up with him, he almost never speaks to outsiders.

At this moment, he was humble, kind and friendly to Lu Ke'er, as if he had become a different person.

Yu Qianjing couldn't help but look at Lu Ke'er deeply.

What kind of magic power does this country girl have that could make his two childhood friends no longer look like themselves?
